Materials list for Flying Crank Ghost
(Adapted from Doug Ferguson's FCG site)

(You will be looking for stock aluminum when you shop for this material.  Purchase two 3-foot lengths of aluminum L-stock, with 1-inch sides. You will also need a one foot long piece of 1" wide flat aluminum stock, 1/8 inch thick.  You should be able to get the front section and one side of the motor mount assembly from a 36" length of 1" L-stock.  You can cut the second side section from the other 36" bar and use the left over for the back end piece.)

2 ea 36" stock aluminum L-bars (1" sides)
1 ea 12" stock aluminum 1" flat bar
